jquery dataTables plugin: dynamically modify ajaxSource

Question

hello!

on my page i have dataTable, which was initialized with, for example, sAjaxSource url like "/api/reports". when we're doing sorting, filtering it appends to url additional query-keys. I want do add keys "date_from" and "date_to" to sAjaxSource url (date intervals could be changed after table initialization). is there any entry-point function, before table reload, so i can do there smth like:

var oSettings = rtbl.fnSettings();
oSettings.sAjaxSource = "/api/reports/?type=sites&date_from=" + $("#date_from").text() + "&date_to=" + $("#date_to").text();

thanks for your help!

Answer 1

so, i've solved it, by next, quite dummy, way:

function set_sAjaxSource(){
                var oSettings = rtbl.fnSettings();
                oSettings.sAjaxSource = "/api/reports/?type=sites&date_from=" + $("#date_from").val() + "&date_to=" + $("#date_to").val();
            }

            $('.sorting').bind('click', set_sAjaxSource)
            $('.sorting_asc').bind('click', set_sAjaxSource)
            $('.sorting_desc').bind('click', set_sAjaxSource)
            $('.sorting_desc').bind('click', set_sAjaxSource)
            $('.paginate_button').bind('click', set_sAjaxSource)
            $('.sorting_active').bind('click', set_sAjaxSource)
